Default What Inside the waist band holster?

Hello I just purchased a M&P Performance center ported .40 CORE in 4.25. and was wondering what is the best inside waistband holster to use with this gun and a burris fastfire III and possibly a tac light? I am undecided on the taclight for everyday carry but just in case please let me know what yall use and pros and cons of the holster. THANKS

With all of that, you'll probably have to find a custom Kydex manufacturer. There are tons of options for you. My favorite Kydex maker is serving our country now and not making holsters, so off the top of my head I have no one to recommend, but I know there are several.

Don't know about a holster, but you probably will need to wear parachute pants.

This is the holster I use to carry mine. Of course if I want to conceal it I have to break out the Mu Mu.

The tac lights a killer . Not happening for me. Light is handheld so I have a light when needed but don't need the handgun.

I am using a Comp-Tac iwb minotaur neutral with the same M&P core 4.25" with a rmr optic. had to make a small notch for the sight but works great. Used the same rig with a different kydex body for 6 years with a commander sized kahr. Will show a photo with each pistol. Note the rear lean angle as I wear it most times in a 2:30 position. Sitting is comfortable as the pistol sits rather high.
This holster has enough adjustment for most 3:30/4:00 postions even though its made as an appendix holster.
Set a little far back for photo.

If you're intent on carrying this with a light, try the smaller and lighter Crimson Trace Lightguard. I have that on a Pro and do occasionally carry it IWB (not appendix though).
